With approximately three-fifths of Operations Directors in the United States reporting more than 10 years of experience, the field is heavily weighted toward experienced professionals. Average pay for Operations Directors is $81K annually and can range from $41K on the lower end to $162K per year near the higher end. With some bonuses approaching $31K and certain profit sharing proceeds approaching $25K, overall incomes of Operations Directors spread between $41K and $162K depending on individual performance. Experience level is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and a majority earn dental coverage. Male Operations Directors are just a bit more common among those who completed the questionnaire than females ones, with male workers composing 57 percent of the field. Most Operations Directors report high levels of job satisfaction. The numbers in this rundown were provided by PayScale's salary survey participants.
An operations director manages the overall output of a group of workers that form an organization. The role is a generalized position that requires an ability to adapt to different issues in different departments. Typically, the operations director is heavily involved in financial planning and project schedule supervision. This includes planning for an annual budget, setting financial goals, and ensuring that everybody is on board with changes by working closely with the human resources department. An operations director works effectively not by infringing upon the management of individual projects where a manager is already assigned, but by supervising and making necessary changes to resolve issues that cannot be resolved by the departments internal solutions setup.

Operations Directors who advance into the role of a Chief Executive Officer are fairly uncommon. Chief Executive Officers on average earn $168K per year. Going from Operations Director to VP of Operations is the transition that occurs most often in this field, where the paychecks are $122K. Many others choose to work as Non-Profit Executive Directors, where pay is typically $59K.
Operations Directors seem to exploit a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Team Leadership, Strategy, Strategic Planning, and Information Technology Support are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 13 percent. Those listing Microsoft Excel as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Leadership and Human Resources also typically command lower compensation. Those who learned Project Management also tend to know Strategic Planning. Those educated in Operations Management tend to be well versed in Budget Management, Strategic Planning, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and income seem to be closely related; in general, the survey respondents who had worked for more years reported higher incomes. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $54K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $75K. For Operations Directors, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $99K. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $111K.
For Operations Directors, working in the bustling city of Houston has its advantages, including an above-average pay rate. Operations Directors can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+31 percent), Seattle (+27 percent), Dallas (+25 percent), and Philadelphia (+24 percent). Austin is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 14 percent. Employers pay around 13 percent less in Los Angeles and 8 percent less in Minneapolis, below-median salaries for those in this field.

After Tiller: 40 Years After Roe v. Wade, Abortion Providers Continue Work of Slain Kansas Doctor
Forty years after the landmark Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion, the new documentary "After Tiller" follows the only four doctors left in the United States who are known to provide abortions in the third trimester. In 2009 their colleague, Dr. George Tiller, was assassinated while attending church in Wichita, Kansas. The four doctors depicted in the film have also braved threats, harassment and the emotional weight of the stories they hear to provide women with a desperately needed medical procedure. We're joined by the directors of "After Tiller," Lana Wilson and Martha Shane.

Now he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children -- misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings -- hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway). Amazon.com Review This unassuming hardcover in black buckram with a dark lavender title plate is the door into a world of twisted pleasures. Filmmaker Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas) tells 23 winsomely macabre stories about boys and girls who don't fit in. Their bodies are misshapen, their habits are odd, and their parents are appalled by them. But they do try hard to be human, like poor unwanted Mummy Boy, who's "a bundle of gauze": he goes for a walk in the park with his mummy dog. Some kids are having "a birthday party for a Mexican girl." They think Mummy Boy is a piñata: "They took a baseball bat and whacked open his head. Mummy Boy fell to the ground; he finally was dead. Inside of his head were no candy or prizes, just a few stray beetles of various sizes." For all its simple humor, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories is a peculiarly disturbing book about the violence that children suffer. It is illustrated in pen and ink, watercolor, and crayon. The themes and imagery are at a young-adult to adult level.

2013 ama supercross
OK, the nationals are done with...
What you got to say about next year's supercross season? :ear Oh yeah, and the Monster Million Cup or whatever it's called? :ear Have at it, boys (and girls) :deal:freaky:clap |
Feh,Supercross basically sucks,the "NASCAR"of motorcycle racing.:puke1Its not who will win,but who will not get injured.I'll watch it,because I hate football,but I cant wait for outdoors.JMHO.:deal
Somethings got to give. You really can't even look at top 5, maybe 8 is a better number. Can Nicoletti get up in there? If Weimer up's his game he'll crowd the room also. If I had to pick right now I'd pick......:hmmmmm:scratch:dunno |
Alessi better get used to finishing out side the top 5 again. :nod
The larger the top group becomes, the more it plays to RD. Mr. Consistent, always in the top 5. The rest will win,dnf, or injure themselves and miss a few rounds.
My brother and I were talking about the new season Saturday. I said we HAVE to make the Monster Cup because it's the first race of the season and no one is injured. :)
'Poto,Reed and Dungey are the obvious guys to watch. I think Rattray,Tickle and Barcia will be occasional spoilers. Wilson? Dunno he's been hot and cold lately. Sadly I think Stewart is done. Too much time off the bike and out of the game has passed.
250's going to be a crapshoot. |
How many Nationals did you make this year? How many SX's have you made in the last 5? |
I nat,(Redbud)0 supers since Pontiac was done.Whats your point?I still watch them.
Hmmm Lets see,who was injured last year in SX,Canard,Reed,Stewart,Dungey,Villopoto,Wilson,Mil saps,on and on. |
Villopotto Reed Stewart Dungey Canard Windham Barcia Weimer Millsapps and an easy 5 more guys fighting for the 10th spot in the top 5. Nicoletti? Metcalfe? Tickle? Izzi? Short? Grant? maybe Jason Lawrence will make a comeback? :poser |
Millsapps and Weimer we know can't match their pace, Windam can get close on a good day but at best he's a 6th place. All those other guys are proven fade to midpack riders. All that is assuming the fast five are all healthy. . |
Chad Reed is Back

I am just getting finished with my entry level training and during ladder work I could not do a leg lock without getting my bigfeet stuck .I am wondering if having my gear modified to have a built in ladder belt (morning pride) would be a good investment or just use a stand alone belt that I would just grab as needed.
I talked to my chief and he said we don't do much ladder work and we currently don't have a ladder truck (that should be changing in a few years). He also mentioned that I probably wouldn't want to be carrying the integrated unit around all the time as it would get heavy.

Norwegian Gem Cruise Review by mkalio: Most amazing vacation

Compare Prices on Norwegian Gem Bahamas Cruises
Most amazing vacation
This was our first Cruise, and we were kind of worried about being around 2000 plus people with no place to go,boy were we wrong. The ship offered plenty of space to getaway from it all......but we found ourselves having so much fun being around all those fellow cruisers. The Pool area was lively and so much fun. Our Cabin had a lot of space, we stayed in a Mini Suite on Deck 11 11058
and it was spacious and very well kept. Our room Stewart was great he knew what we needed before we even said anything.
The best was our CD Sinan he is amazing and we fell that he made our Cruise the best.....what a funny guy and his crew, amazing. We cant wait to book our next cruise with NCL just have to figure out when where too etc.
We book the excursions with NCL and had no complains. I am sure one could nick pick and find something wrong somewhere, but we just enjoyed our self's to much that we didn't notice anything. The Crew on The Gem amazing and so hard working and More
always with a smile.
I realize that this was our first cruise and don't have anything to compare it to.....but to us this was the best vacation ever. Thank you NCL and Thank you Sinan you are the best. Less

Cabin review: MA11058
Great balcony. Plenty of space in closet. Our two suitcases fit in our closet, carry one under our bed, plenty of drawer space. Flat Screen TV maybe 27" Coffeemaker, a save with plenty of room. The bathroom was spacious, with a separated Toilet. We loved our Cabin and our bed was very comfy.It has a small fridge,just ask your Cabin Steward to empty it for you, so you can fit your water or soft drinks in it.We never had any issues with noise. Cabin 11058 Midshiff.

A Research Report by Linda Darling-Hammond, Amy M. Hightower, Jennifer L. Husbands, Jeannette R. LaFors, Viki M. Young, and Carl Christopher, September 2003.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyOriginal StudyOriginal StudyThis research report looks at the aggressive set of policies San Diego City School District used to improve instruction. It reveals how San Diego consolidated and redirected resources, redesigned the district office as well as work in schools, and mediated and leveraged state policy to further its reform agenda. The report also documents the difficulties of managing the politics and implementation of a coherent approach to change in a large district with an established culture of decentralization located in a state with a piecemeal, sometimes conflicting, menu of reforms.

A Case of Successful Teaching Policy: Connecticut's Long-Term Efforts to Improve Teaching and Learning
A Research Report by Suzanne M. Wilson, Linda Darling-Hammond, and Barnett Berry, February 2001.Description:PDFBriefAbstractOriginal StudyThis Research Report describes 15-years' worth of successful effort by Connecticut to implement a comprehensive set of teaching quality policies to support improved student learning. The authors hypothesize that the power of Connecticut's teaching policy reform lies not simply in their comprehensiveness and in the state's political stability over the last decade but also in the power of policies to build capacity in teachers, students, administrators, teacher educators and state department staff. A Policy Brief based on this report is also available.

Connecting Districts to the Policy Dialogue: A Review of Literature on the Relationship of Districts with States, Schools, and Communities
A Working Paper by Julie A. Marsh, September 2000.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyThis Working Paper reviews literature about the key roles that districts play in supporting improvements in teaching and learning, including the district role in implementing state policies and enacting school-level change and what the key factors are that enable districts to effectively support improvements. It also considers how community involvement and collaboration contribute to districts' improvement efforts. The paper suggests directions for future research to advance the state of knowledge on school districts.
Curriculum Materials: Scaffolds for New Teacher Learning?
A Research Report by Pam Grossman and Clarissa Thompson, January 2004.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyDerived from a study of beginning language arts teachers (see District Policy and Beginning Teachers: Where the Twain Shall Meet, elsewhere on this web site), this Research Report captures the ways curriculum (or its absence) guides what is learned level about instructional practice, and how, by new language arts teachers in secondary schools. The report underscores how potent curriculum policy can be for shaping teachers' early attempts to establish a secure professional repertoire.
Data-informed Leadership in Education
A Research Report in collaboration with The Wallace Foundation by Michael S. Knapp, Juli Ann Swinnerton, Michael A. Copland, and Jack Monpas-Huber, October 2006.Description:PDFDrawing from empirical studies and the landscape of current practice, this report explores ideas related to how educational leaders access data, the meanings they give to it, and the uses to which they put these data in the varying settings in which leaders seek to improve teaching and learning. Moving away from the potentially appealing rhetoric that data can provide clear, indisputable direction for future action (e.g. "data-driven decision making"), the notion of data-informed leadership captures the complex and often ambiguous nature of data use in educational settings.

Examining the Impact of Reduction in Force (RIF) Notices in Washington School Districts: 2009-2010
A Report Prepared for The Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession, March 2010.Description:PDFNearly half of Washington school districts issued layoff notices to teachers and other school staff during the 2008-09 school year. This report examines the impact of Reduction in Force (RIF) notices issued in Washington state during this time. Among teachers who received a RIF notice, 87 % were rehired in the K-12 education system in Washington in the subsequent year. The study examines the characteristics of individuals who received RIF notifications, the types of schools and districts that issued notices, and the impact of RIF on the retention and mobility of the educator workforce.

Is There Really a Teacher Shortage?
A Research Report by Richard M. Ingersoll, September 2003.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyIn this report, Richard Ingersoll builds on his hypothesis that school staffing problems are due largely to excess demand resulting from high pre-retirement turnover and not solely or even primarily to supply-side deficits in the quantity of teachers produced. He also addresses criticisms of those who argue that concern over teacher turnover is exaggerated.
Leadership for Transforming High Schools
A Research Report in collaboration with The Wallace Foundation by Michael A. Copland and Elizabeth Boatright, December 2006.Description:PDFThis report addresses the complexity of problems associated with traditional comprehensive high schools. It examines why, despite repeated calls for reform, and various efforts aimed at reform, evidence suggests that what transpires for students inside the high school classroom remains relatively impervious to change. A picture of the terrain of leadership activity important for transforming high schools is proposed followed by questions of how the work of leadership might be accomplished.

Leading, Learning, and Leadership Support
A Research Report in collaboration with The Wallace Foundation by Michael S. Knapp, Michael A. Copland, Margaret L. Plecki, and Bradley S. Portin, October 2006.Description:PDFExecutive SummaryThis report maps out activities and supporting conditions in states, districts, and schools, that enable educational leadership to exert productive influence on learning. The report draws together threads from the research literature and from practical experimentation in a variety of states, districts, and schools, as described in greater detail within six reports that comprise the Improving Leadership for Learning series. From these sources, the report authors offer an overview of the "systems of leadership support" that guide leaders' efforts to improve the quality of teaching and learning in schools across the nation.
Learning-focused Leadership and Leadership Support: Meaning and Practice in Urban Systems
A Research Report in collaboration with The Wallace Foundation by Michael S. Knapp, Michael A. Copland, Meredith I. Honig, Margaret L. Plecki, and Bradley S. Portin, August 2010.Description:PDFThis report synthesizes what has been learned about how leaders in urban systems focus their leadership on the improvement of learning, and what it takes to support their leadership in these settings. The report brings together findings from three sub-study strands, concerned with efforts in seven urban districts to: a) invest staffing and other resources in equitable learning improvement; b) practice learning-focused leadership within the school, in teams of supervisory and nonsupervisory staff; and c) transform the district central office to support the improvement of teaching and learning district-wide.
Making Subject Matter Part of the Equation: The Intersection of Policy and Content
An Occasional Paper by Pam Grossman, Susan S. Stodolsky, and Michael S. Knapp, December 2004.Description:PDFThis conceptual paper offers a framework for understanding how educational policy is related to subject matter. Drawing on literature concerning instructional policymaking and the cultures that surround teaching in different subject areas, the paper distinguishes and illustrates three types of policy, that ignore, target, or differentiate among subject matter areas, respectively. The paper then demonstrates, for each type, how subject matter acts as a crucial context for policy implementation and effects, affecting the policy's impact in often unintended ways. Typically ignored by policy research, these dynamics have special importance for the analysis of reform policies, as well as for the making of policies aimed at teaching and learning.
Meeting the Needs of Failing Readers: Cautions and Considerations for State Policy
An Occasional Paper by Marsha Riddle Buly and Sheila Valencia, April 2003.Description:PDFAbstractIn this CTP Occasional Paper, the authors' findings are a caution to policymakers and educators who may be tempted to treat the same all students who score "below standard" on statewide reading assessments. By probing beneath student's failing scores on a 4th-grade state reading assessment, the authors found that scores masked distinctive and multifaceted problems having to do with 1) word identification, 2) fluency, and 3) meaning. To have treated the same all students who had failed would have been to miss the different instructional emphases called for by their underlying skills, strategies, and needs. The paper presents reading profiles of failing students and discusses five potential areas as potential policy levers for improving student performance in reading.

Purposes, Uses, and Practices of Leadership Assessment in Education
A Research Report in collaboration with The Wallace Foundation by Bradley S. Portin, Sue Feldman, and Michael S. Knapp, October 2006.Description:PDFThis report discusses connections between learning-focused school leadership and leadership assessment as it contributes to coherent leadership assessment systems. Drawing upon exemplary research, and through the use of scenarios drawn from common school leadership assessment practices, this report outlines multiple purposes and uses of leadership assessment in national, state and local contexts. The central theme of the report is connecting learning-focused leadership with leadership assessment.
Redefining and Improving School District Governance
A Research Report in collaboration with The Wallace Foundation by Margaret L. Plecki, Julie McCleery, and Michael S. Knapp, October 2006.Description:PDFThis paper takes a close look at local school boards-an enduring feature of public education governance. Using published accounts in the research literature, the paper synthesizes the frameworks, beliefs, and activities concerning the roles and responsibilities of the district school board. Using three common critiques of modern school boards as a guide, the paper further identifies the underlying currents of governance reform, conditions that influence governance structure, and the connections between governance and learning-focused leadership.
Redefining Roles, Responsibility, and Authority of School Leaders
A Research Report in collaboration with The Wallace Foundation by Bradley S. Portin, Christopher R. Alejano, and Michael S. Knapp, October 2006.Description:PDFThis report considers school leaders' roles and responsibilities, and the authority they need to pursue an agenda of improving teaching and learning. The report frames what it means to lead schools toward improvements in teaching and learning, who does or can exercise that leadership (including but not limited to the principal), how leaders can be equipped to lead learning communities, what conditions empower leaders to lead in this way, and how such leadership is cultivated in individuals or school communities over time.
Reforming Districts: How Districts Support School Reform
A Research Report by Milbrey McLaughlin and Joan Talbert, September 2003.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyOriginal StudyBy detailing the experiences of three reforming California districts, this research report offers new evidence of district effects on school reform progress and improved student outcomes. The case studies offer instructive exception to conventional wisdom-or myths-about district reform. Among the refuted myths: teachers and principals resist a strong district role; turnover derails efforts to establish and sustain a consistent reform agenda; and local politics will defeat any serious reform agenda.
The Relation Between State and District Literacy Standards: Issues of Alignment, Influence, and Utility
A Research Report by Elizabeth Dutro and Sheila W. Valencia, January 2004.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyThis Research Report explores how state content standards in reading affect local content standards. The study, undertaken in four states, shows that under the guise of "alignment" between state and local standards, there is considerable variability, and that the usefulness of the state's efforts to promote local standards-based reform in this areas of the curriculum depends on various attributes of the state policy, the characteristic relationship between state and local level, and local engagement in professional development.
Resources, Instruction, and Research
A Working Paper by David K. Cohen, Stephen W. Raudenbush, and Deborah Loewenberg Ball, December 2000.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyThis Working Paper looks at resource use in schools and discusses research designs that would be appropriate to identify resource effects. Whereas education policymakers have long believed that conventional resoures, i.e. books, bricks, class size, and teacher qualifications directly affect student learning and achievement, the authors here argue it's all about how those resources get used in instruction. How resource use is influenced by the management of certain key problems of instruction, including coordination, incentives to use the resources, and management of instructional environments, is also discussed.
Revisiting What States Are Doing to Improve the Quality of Teaching: An Update on Patterns and Trends
A Working Paper by Eric Hirsch, Julia E. Koppich, and Michael S. Knapp, February 2001.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyThis updated version of an earlier CTP Working Paper takes a fresh look at recent developments in the realms of state policy related to teacher and teaching quality. The broad-brush, descriptive analysis covers state-level policy action pertaining to (1) development and promotion of high standards for student learning and for teaching; (2) attempts to attract, reward, and retain capable people in the teaching profession; (3) support for high-quality initial preparation and induction of new teachers; (4) attempts to motivate and support teachers' ongoing professional learning; and (5) enhancements to the school workplace environment.

Standards-Based Reform and Small Schools of Choice: How Reform Theories Converge in Three Urban Middle Schools
A Research Report by Chrysan Gallucci, Michael S. Knapp, Anneke Markholt, and Suzy Ort, July 2003.Description:PDFAbstractOriginal StudyThis report examines the ways two seemingly opposite theories of educational reform converge in three New York City middle schools. Using in-depth case studies, the authors look at what happened when a theory of centralized, standards-based instructional improvement was introduced into these schools on top of an existing theory that emphasized small schools, distinctive programs, and close relationships among students and adults. The result, a surprise to some, is that the two theories can coexist, even complement each other, but not without some tension.

Teacher Turnover, Teacher Shortages, and the Organization of Schools
A Research Report by Richard M. Ingersoll, January 2001.Description:PDFBriefAbstractOriginal StudyThis Research Report provides data and a new framework for looking at the teacher shortage problem. The author shifts the focus away from the problem's two most common explanations (teacher retirement and student enrollment growth) to examine from a sociological view how certain organizational characteristics and conditions of schools lead to low teacher retention. The analysis suggests that education policies, such as teacher recruitment programs, will not solve the staffing problems of schools if they do not also address what is going on in schools that cause teachers to leave. A Policy Brief based on this report is also available.

Using Student Work to Support Professional Development in Elementary Mathematics
A Working Paper by Elham Kazemi and Megan Loef Franke, April 2003.Description:PDFAbstractThis CTP Working Paper charts the evolving conversations and pedagogical learning of one teacher workgroup as it met over the course of a year to discuss student work in elementary mathematics. Chronicled are details of the teachers' efforts to make sense of their students' reasoning in solving base ten system problems. The paper is organized into six sections that reflect the trajectory of the workgroup. The authors reflect upon that trajectory of teachers' talk to make several conjectures about the use of student work and the potential opportunities for learning that examining student work opens up for teachers. One such conjecture is that examining it is a promising way of beginning to work with a diverse group of teachers.

The similarities found in Arcane Legends, the developer's upcoming fourth game in its cross-platform, mobile-focused massively multiplayer game (MMO) franchise, to its previous works--namely Pocket Legends--are undeniable. For one, it's a fantasy role-playing game with three character classes. There's the Warrior (a brawny, great sword-wielding dude), the Rogue (a lithe lady with long swords) and the Sorcerer (a tiny, blue ... thing that Holding dubs an "inter-dimensional being").
To show off this admittedly punchy combat, Holding gives a tour of one of the first dungeons in Arcane Legends, a mineshaft overrun by nasty goblins. As his warrior becomes surrounded with baddies in a battle with a goblin archer, One-Eye, (the boss character to this particular dungeon), he unleashes a charged-up special attack that pulverizes three monsters in a single blow. Then, Holding hacks into a barrel near a gang of enemies with the expected result: goblins go boom.
It's these set piece moments of combat borrowed from Dark Legends, combined with the real-time, connected play established in Pocket Legends, that Holding hopes will help Arcane Legends stand out. Well, that and some new features, like a fast travel system through which players can travel to previously conquered dungeons in an instant and improved matchmaking. (This points to the fact that, while Arcane Legends is playable on both mobile and desktop devices, it's still very much a mobile game.)
Of course, now-staples of the Legends franchise will serve to round out the feature set in Arcane Legends, like guild halls for friends to hang out in private between dungeon runs and player versus player arenas. But ultimately, it seems as if the only truly new ideas in Arcane Legends are its setting, characters and lore. That might not be a bad thing. If anything, this looks to be a refinement of the winning formula Spacetime Studios brewed up way back in 2010. Arcane Legends is due out on iOS, Android and the Google Chrome Web Store for free this August.
Are you psyched for Arcane Legends? Are you afraid it will be more of the same? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

Blue Orb Tours Compliment - Blue Orb Ghost Tours of Savannah (Savannah, GA)
Review by
Comments (4)
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA -- As a Savannah native who has a deep love & appreciation for the beauty & history it holds, I have been on almost every tour offered. Hands down, Blue Orb Ghost Tours of Savannah was the best I've ever experienced. Our guide was very informative, interesting, friendly & detailed. He knew the information well, gave places in which his stories could be verified and answered every question asked without hesitation. Everyone on the tour was included as he spoke with enthusiasm and a noticeable love for what he was sharing. Seeing as I've experienced almost every tour there is here & lived here for the majority of my life, it blew me away when he spoke of things I had never heard of. It was very refreshing and most definitely a tour I recommend everyone to experience! In fact, I was so impressed that I've told all of my friend & a group of us will be attending a tour next weekend! The variety they offer is something that will keep you wanting to come back for more!

Sorry! I didn't take it from a website at all. It was my actual experience. The quotes were a mistake. What I get for writing with a 17 month old in my lap. :)I went back and fixed it. Thank you for pointing it out to me.
I didn't see any hobgoblins. However, there were tourist there who did experience some things while on the tour. I can't say they were hobgoblins, as I didn't experience them but it was still quite interesting to hear what they did experience! There is a facebook page that we were told we could send any pictures of anything we've captured & they would be placed online.

Make this a 1.12, because HAMMER is only in an alpha state. Then when HAMMER is production ready release, change the numbering scheme altogether. The roman numerals for example are nice, and would attract attention. DragonFly XIII sure looks good, and the june release DragonFly XIV. Maybe dump the odd-even numbering altogether.

The camera is offered in three designs, each featuring a different fixed lens (3.6mm, 8.0mm, 12.0mm) targeted at specific field of view needs. In addition, because its rugged, all-metal housing is IP65-rated as resistant against rain, moisture and dust, the dome is qualified for use indoors, outdoors or in industrial areas. Finally, the camera offers the choice of either being mounted on a ceiling or sideways on a wall with an optional wall-mount bracket.

Hi! As the title says i've created a TF2 Dedicated server for playing on LAN, and built a cracked standalone to play on that server, but the clients that select the various items to equip on their characters are unable to change anything... How can i solve this problem? Thank you! (Sorry for my poor english..
Probably not. Since tf2 is ffa, the popularity of cracks for it decreased heavily. Why do you need it cracked, too?
Hi! Thank you for your reply, i want it cracked because at LAN parties we don't have a working internet connection, and the only way to play this game is the no-steam way... Thank you again!
I might be mistaken here, but what about Steam's offline mode? I thought that worked for LAN parties. I don't know honestly, but I have been told that client.dll features some item protections for some time now.
yes, steam offline mode works but the loadout isn't available Do you think that somebody could patch it? Sorry for my poor english...
I think this is what bir3yk's patcher - some version is available on the front page, not sure if the latest one - is for.
nope, neither patch works for me and even latest version of rev-emu says loadout not avalible could not connect to item server.

I know there's a lengthy thread about the merits of Jocketty's hiring, but I thought it would be neat to flesh out some specific things Jocketty might add to the organization... will negotiations be strengthened now that Jocketty's on board?
I got 3 things that go toward answering this question out of reading the other thread:
1) He's a good baseball mind that will add to the creditability of the organization
2) He's shrewd at making trades (for the most part)
3) He's more likely to dip into FA
What would you like to see explored/revisited now that Jocketty's on board...???
Personally, I'd love to see us work something out w/ the Giants they seem to be a perfect fit for us. I know they are looking for corner infield help and we have young corner infielders w/ tremendous upside that would really meet their needs if they are looking to rebuild.
I would try to acquire Cain or Lincecum ... I think Cain, in particular, could really solidify our rotation and give us what we need to be a real contender.
I'd give up: Votto, EdE, Roenicke, and Belisle/Maloney for Cain.
I know its alot, but it would solidify our rotation for 2008 and not give up on the future (allows us to keep Bailey, Cueto, and Volquez). Kepp/Freel could keep 3b warm for Todd Frazier who will hopefully be ready by 2009 and Hatte/Kepp/A. Phillips or an Ensberg acquisition could hold down 1b.... but, I'm not too worried about 1b, it seems like it might be a fairly easy hole to fill competently.
A rotation of: Harang, Cain, Arroyo, Bailey, Volquez would be sweet!

Preclearance Without Statutory Change: Bail-In Suits Post-Shelby CountyMichael EllementIndependent July 1, 2013 Yale Law & Policy Review Online (Inter Alia), Vol. 32, Forthcoming Abstract: This short piece analyzes the potential for bail-in suits under Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act, following the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder. The bail-in process allows a court, upon finding a voting rights violation of the Fourteenth or Fifteenth amendments, to impose a system similar to the Section 5 preclearance structure on offending states. This piece argues that voting rights advocates should be cautiously optimistic that Section 3 can fill the void left by the Court's decision to strike down the Section 4 preclearance formula. It contends the bail-in provision is superior to other statutory and policy alternatives for a number of reasons, namely that it satisfies the constitutional requirements laid out by the Shelby County Court for supervisory voting legislation; is immediately available (eliminating the need for statutory change); and, if utilized, represents the remedial option closest to the previously enforced Section 5 preclearance structure.

quote:Originally posted by: felixforever its in the oem agreement that the sticker has to be in a visable spot
quote:Originally posted by: Suzueya My point was that if I bought a frigging 4 ton truck load, (filled to the roof), of mobos, then surely I am entitled to buy one lousy oem copy of XP. What did they think I would do w/ that many mobos? Build a shack? But what I built would not be IBM, or HP, or Compac, or Dell, or any other Vbox. So I was a "special case". And they don't make allowances for things like that.
quote:Originally posted by: Suzueya No prob Zep. Adam you still seem to be missing the point. "What right does "M"(oron)"S"() have to cut off the activation priviledges of a legal user, who has nothing worse than low level format a few times to clear up error problems that the user knows of no other way to clear up?" They give NO WARNING or PROHIBITION on low level formatting, therefore what they are doing is arbitrarily denying the purchaser the product for which the purchaser has paid. FRAUD get it?

Fourth-quarter sales increase by 25.8 percent as year-to-date sales ascend by 14.9 percent.
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Jan. 3, 2013 /CNW/ - For the first time in its 37-year history, Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI) has broken a new barrier with 31,003 units sold in 2012. This record-breaking annual sales result was enjoyed by all four regions as year-to-date sales rose by 14.9 percent. The Japanese automaker is thrilled to report that record December sales of 2,814 units have propelled monthly results up 12.9 percent in its eighth consecutive month of growth.
"This year marked the introduction of groundbreaking models and technology at Subaru," said Shiro Ohta, president and CEO of Subaru Canada, Inc. "In addition to introducing the brand new, multiple award-winning Subaru BRZ as well as the XV Crosstrek to our lineup, we debuted our new EyeSight driver-assist system on the redesigned 2013 Legacy and Outback.

Automotive Lease Guide has named us its Best Mainstream Brand three years running and, most recently, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has once again distinguished Subaru as the only manufacturer to have a TOP SAFETY PICK for every model it builds. Under these tough market conditions, Subaru has proven itself to be a smart alternative to mainstream brands."

"Lake Connecticut was to us but the jumping-off place whence we proposed to dive into a remoter world of mystery," says one character about the body of water near the Canadian border for which the novel is named. Harmon uses four interlocking narrativescentered loosely on the experiences of a young woman with dreams beyond farm lifeto explore the untamed land's fledgling independence and its subsequent emergence, in the 20th century, as the destitute back country of a rapidly modernizing nation.
In the opening chapter, a bloodthirsty stranger searches for gold while terrorizing the citizenry; in another, a wealthy Massachusetts family settles into uneasy coexistence with its suspicious neighbors. The most daring section of the novel pays tribute to the experimental poet John Ashbery with a prose poem about a woman whose homestead is threatened by the construction of a dam. But neither carpetbaggers nor castaways find solace in Indian Stream, which ultimately comes to represent a "corner of the world [where] there is nothing but wilderness and darkness and drink."
While Harmon's treatment of the land is unimpeachable, the writing in Quinnehtukqut-replete with rambling stream-of-consciousness and disjointed description-too closely mirrors the bewildering density of the New Hampshire woods. Harmon, who regularly advocates for nonlinear fiction on his blog, concerns himself with formal innovation at the expense of a coherent narrative. William Faulkner, an obvious inspiration for this novel, explored the South's troubled history through a meticulous conception of Yoknapatawpha County, but he brought readers into his world before dazzling them with literary prowess. There is no shortage of bravura in Harmon's prose, but he seems to forget that a novel cannot subsist on avant-gardism alone.
